The living lighthouse program is an unparalleled educational opportunity awaiting all who wish to learn about Maine's marine resources and its maritime heritage. The restored buildings serve as a living history museum where interpreters portray a lighthouse family who once called Burnt Island home. 

Visitors learn about life on the island as Keeper Joseph Muise, his wife Annie, and their children recount their daily activities and share their stories of joy, sorrow, dedication, and survival.

During the final segment of the tour, visitors can climb the spiral stairs into the lantern room, view the historic photographs and documents in the covered walkway museum, picnic by the waterfront, or hike the trails around the island.
